Anyone else have a standard roof rack on a Honda Cr-v that has the wider bars that found this would not fit on it?

The bars on my Hyundai Santa Fe were initially too wide for this. However, I went to my local hardware store and purchased some flat brackets for about $2.50. This not only worked - I think it's actually stronger than it would be without them.

I don't have a CRV but it comes with two sets of U bolts. Large and small. I used the large on my car and still had rink to spare.

Car came with roof rack but without cross bars. My guess is that it's a dealer only item and you probably want thenm to install it also.

Not sure the answer sent from my iphone went out so will answer again on my laptop. You must already have the two bars running thelength of your car roof, from front to back, to attach the roof rack. My Honda CRV came with them factory installed so I could easily add the rack. It's a great rack. Very solid.

These are the crossbars that attach to the existing roof rails on the SV and SL models. After some quick research, it looks like the S model does not have these rails. If you don't have the rails that run lengthwise on the edge of the roof, these will not work for you. You may want to consider a roof rack system from Yakima or Thule.

Hi Christine - yyyyeah, about that, there are none! I read a bunch of the reviews and kinda figured it out on my own and I'm NOT very handy. Pop the plastic covers off the mounting areas (on the rails that already exist on your CR-V) with a small flathead screwdriver. You can determine where the four crossbar holders/mounts/whatever you wanna call them go by matching how they fit on the rails. Put the rubber strip on the crossbars facing up and the larger of the two crossbars goes in the front. Let me know if you want more info or tips! (austin.hill@mac.com) Good luck!

.....you may want to consider getting a under mount hitch installed and looking into the Thule bike racks that slide right into the hitch . Very wavy to install. I could not go that route because my Honda 2012 CRV has a plastic bumper. Good luck Mary C.

I got a 2003 CRV and the rack does NOT fit except you remove the back wiper. The advertisement of this rack is NOT correct.

I put this rack on a 2002 Honda CRV. It fits perfectly over the spare tire with cover. There is a lot of room for adjusting to fit. I have only put one bike on the rack but there is definitely room for two.

My review stated I could not get this to fit my 2007 Honda Accord and the bolt threads did not line up. I returned the rack and brought less stuff on my trip.

I am thinking of trying it. The part number on the Honda Website is exactly the same as this one. http://www.hondapartsoverstock.com/p/Honda__/RAIL--ROOF-RACK/50627537/08L02-TK8-100.html?partner=googlebase_adwords&kwd;=∨igin=pla

The mounting brackets on the rack are adjustable for skinny or wide mount on roof bars. The basket also sticks up about 2" above the roof bars.

You can check if your car will work on Yakima's website. I have a Honda Element with factory roof rack - zero issues. The Skybox has adjustable clamps that move to wherever your crossbars are located. I went through the selections on here - and looks like you shouldn't have a problem: http://www.yakima.com/fit/Information

Depends on how handy you are. Best thing to do, is buy it (I love mine) and then see if you can modify it from the round tube to yours. It is designed to fit flat and round crossbars. Worst that can happen is you'll have to send it back.

They're site says it fits most styles, but a lot of AeroBar style crossbars users complain that it doesn't have a proper fit and seemed loose. It might be user error, but I'm not sure because I've never this rack on one. Good luck.

I can not speak to installation on Honda factory bars. But, these fit on my Rhino Rack Aero 2500 bars. These bars are relatively large, etc. Maybe you can look up my bars, and determine if your Honda bars are better or worse.

I use this rack on a Mazda 3 Hatchback. It took a little adjusting with the side straps but the rack works fine. Nice rack for the money. I believe it would work on the CRV. You'd want to hang it so the weight of the bikes is off the back window.

I believe it will fit just fine. We had it on the top of my daughters Honda Fit with the straps through the windows. With the roof rack it will be easy to secure to the rails.
